Later that afternoon, I was on a step ladder trying to attach a new washing line to two metal poles, the previous line having snapped with a full load the previous day, dropping the newly laundered items into the gloppy, muddy garden below. As my fingers rapidly froze and I fumbled with the line, the Jon Kennedy remix of this song popped into my headphones:
I don't actually own a copy of Hinterland, the Aim album that features the original full length version of this song, but it appears with the Jon Kennedy remix on the excellent Kate Rogers vs Grand Central compilation from 2003. The original single release also included a great remix from Andy Votel.
Kate Rogers'
website was last updated in February 2014 and there's a free download of
track Grey Green Sky from January of that year still available on her Bandcamp
page.
Andy Turner aka Aim has his own label, ATIC Records, which is currently promoting the release of Aim collaborator Niko's third album (and first for 9 years), Electric Union. It's described as a "dance lounge sound" which is perfect, as that's where most of my dancing happens these days.
